We heard a snippet through the hum
A line you loved, then it was gone
The reel refused to roll quite straight
Like time unsure of what to wait
Your voice came back in broken threads
Between the skips and what it said
A question paused, an
answer missed Replayed in loops that don't exist
The table shook with every pop You laughed then static made it stop
A coffee ring,
your tape rewind Still stains the past you left behind
Your voice came back in broken threads
Between the skips and what it said
A question paused,
an answer missed Replayed in loops that don't exist
Still clicks,
the sound still spins Like moments filed in plastic bins
No future fit the way you played A tune too tight,
a word delayed
